Grandma1954 Jul 2021 You should have gotten a license from the state if you took the Certification Exam and the place that gave the exam submitted it to the state. Contact the State License Board for the state where you took the exam. Most times you will have to show proof of CEU's and probably pay to have the license renewed. This is probably done 1 time a year (some might be valid for 2 or more years depending on the certification. not sure on that) If you were employed your employer or former employer should also have a copy.
Sendhelp Jul 2021 PCA is a Personal Care Assistant. Just FYI.
JoAnn29 Jul 2021 From what I understand they are the same thing as a CNA (Certified Nurses Aide).
JoAnn29 Jul 2021 In my State the Nursing Board gives certification. Where did you take your course? Maybe that place has a copy.
MACinCT Jul 2021 You go back to where you obtained it. As time goes on, states will require licensing and you will need to hold on to certificates. Wait until you need to take x number of CEUs by a deadline. You miss it, you cannot work. Otherwise you start all over from the beginning.
If this is a State Certificate then the State will have the information. Check your State department of Licensing and Regulations. Or possibly the State Health Department. If you took the certification from a Community College or a private company they may also have the information that you need. If this is not a State Certified certificate it might be possible that the only way to obtain a copy will be through whoever administered the certification testing or your previous employer. I have no idea why they refuse to give you a copy, it does them no good. UNLESS they are the ones that paid for the certification. And maybe if you left employment shortly after getting certified.
Why don't you have the original? After completing the program the original would have been given to you and your former job would have a copy. If your certification training was done through the state you live in, the Department of Public Health are the people who issue certification for CNA. They will give you a notorized official copy if you petition them for one. They will probably charge you f or the copy. Also, you should appeal to the Department of Labor in your state and tell them what your old job is pulling with not allowing you to have it. They will recover it for you as well.
